Project in Progress: Flower Cushion

I have had the idea of making a decorative cushion
with crochet flowers for quite a while. Finally, I set my hands to implement
the idea into life.

I want to make a cushion for my bedroom, which is
decorated in three colors – white, pale green, and light blue. The flowers on
my cushion should be in those colors but in different sizes and shapes.

I’m not following any specific pattern; therefore,
this project requires some experimenting. At first, I used two big granny
square to make the cushion cover. However, I soon discovered that wasn’t a good
choice as my finished cover stretched and simply didn’t hold its shape. I tried
single crochets into back loops only and it seems to work well.

The yarn I’m using for the cushion cover is
recycled. It came from an old sweater of mine that I knitted seven or eight
years ago. But I’m using new yarn to make the flowers as I want them to be
perfect.

I can’t wait to finish this decorative cushion! I believe
it will add some romantic charm to my bedroom decor.

The colors look very cool and calm, perfect for a bedroom. It already looks nice, but can't wait to see the end result. :)And my lacy baby blanket is finished. Please do visit my blog to have a look, whenever you have time.
